OVERALL TAKEAWAY
Zcash has been volatile amid dev drama (ECC team split, new cashZ wallet launch) and regs (e.g., Dubai privacy token restrictions). But privacy narrative remains hot – ZEC ranked high in social mentions, with ongoing upgrades like NU6 planned.Short-term:
Whale distribution + net sells signal caution, possible capitulation or shakeout. Long-term: If privacy demand surges (shielded tx growth), trapped longs could fuel squeeze higher.Watch $400 support closely. Distribution now... or accumulation in disguise?
